Q: How can I open .ENC files with Mountain Lion
I am new to iMac and having trouble already. By email, I have been sent a document containing words but it has a .ENC extension which I can't open. Doing a search for .ENC extensions I have found four different results. One saying it is a video, which is obviously not correct. Another says that my system is corrupted in some way and has invalid registry entries. Another says it is associated with Black Ice Evidence. And yet another says it is an encrypted file. If it is caused by invalid registry entries, how I clean the registry? I was told iMacs don't need the sort of cleaning that Windows did.
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)

ENC is a file extension for an UUE encoded file format used by the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program to protect files from unauthorized changes. UUE is a type of binary to text encoding that came from the program UUEncode, which encoded binary data for transmission across the UUCP mail system. UUencoding is a binary-to-text encoding method. CopySafe protected PDF files are saved in the ENC file format. The ENC file format is also used by Yahoo! Messenger as a part of the installation setup.
